Ottaviano Riario

Ottaviano Riario (September 1479 – 1533[1]) was an Italian condottiero and Lord of Imola and Forlì.

He was a son of Girolamo Riario, a nephew of Pope Sixtus IV who had obtained possession in Italy thanks to the pontiff's patronage, and Caterina Sforza. He was created lord of Imola and Forlì in July 1488 by Pope Innocent VIII, under the regency of his mother.
